In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 198 Becoming an Insurmountable Mountain!

No matter how many reasons are given, such as the school administrator not defending properly, the opponent deliberately wanting to test Shen Xing's strength, or the situation being urgent and he only casually blocked something, it would be ineffective.

No matter how many reasons there are, they cannot change the fact before our eyes—Shen Xing's strength is indeed enough to injure someone at the fourth realm!

At this moment, the training ground was filled with a constant stream of various sounds.

Some people exclaimed excitedly, some whispered among themselves, some remained silent, and some gritted their teeth, looking unwilling and dejected.

None of the people who came to watch the game probably expected this outcome.

In their view, either Wu Qilin would win easily, or Shen Xing would win by a narrow margin after a hard-fought battle.

But the result was that Shen Xing won easily with an absolute advantage!

Coupled with the shock of injuring four realms at the end, all of this seemed to herald the birth of a true king!

The way the sponsors' representatives looked at Shen Xing had completely changed. With this kind of strength and performance, unless another miracle dark horse like Shen Xing appeared, this young man had almost secured the top spot for the 4032 freshmen!

The other prodigies also realized this, and their gazes toward Shen Xing were filled with all sorts of emotions.

Longing, discontent, awe, yearning

At this moment, the status and image that originally belonged to Wu Qilin have been doubled and inherited by Shen Xing. At least in this year's class, he has become an insurmountable mountain in front of all martial arts students on the academy's home planet! He has become the strongest who looks down on them!

As for Wu Qilin, people may still acknowledge his strength, but no one will look up to him as they used to.

This is the way of martial arts: the victor will possess all the status and prestige of the loser!

Even Shen Xing felt joy and excitement as he felt the gazes converging from all directions.

In any case, his path in martial arts has finally reached a crucial step.

—Beyond all peers on the home planet of the academy!

"This is just the beginning," Shen Xing told himself, but he didn't put too much pressure on himself. He looked around, then stepped off the platform and headed towards the stands.

Wherever he went, everyone fell silent and made way for him. Even the top 100 geniuses couldn't help but lower their heads when they faced Shen Xing's gaze, or with longing and awe, they all made way for a path that belonged only to the king.

It wasn't until Shen Xing walked up to Nangong Jinyi that this happened.

"Shall we invite Juan, Gu Jiao, and the others to celebrate properly later?" He smiled, but his tone remained the same as always.

That's right, even he has the urge to celebrate at times like this.

"Everything is ready." Nangong Jinyi's lips curled up in a bright smile. "They're all already in the shop, just waiting for you to finish the match."

"You have so much confidence in me, what if you lose?" Shen Xing asked, somewhat surprised.

"So I asked you first, and you said you would win," Nangong Jinyi said with a smile.

"That's true." Shen Xing nodded, thoroughly enjoying this trust. He glanced around and laughed loudly, "Let's go, let's call my counselor, Xue Yu, too. We should have a proper celebration."

At this moment, Shen Xing showed no modesty, nor did he try to hide his joy; he was in high spirits.

However, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

He is qualified.

It wasn't until Shen Xing and his group had left that various sounds began to fill the venue again.

The sensation caused by this match has only just begun.

The news has spread like wildfire from the hands of the top talents and sponsor representatives.

Almost simultaneously, various information was being pushed out intensively across the entire academy's home planet's network.

The top spot has changed hands! Shen Xing crushes Wu Qilin!

"The Absolute Victory of Linjiang School!"

A Dark Horse! A Once-in-a-Century Dark Horse!

The new generation's throne has been decided four months ahead of schedule, and no one can challenge it!

"Crushing the Sons of Our Time!"

Shen Xing: Overpowered in this version? No, I am the version!

《.》

It can be said that the entire home planet of the academy was in an uproar, and its momentum even far exceeded that of the previous freshman rankings, simply because this scene was just too dramatic!

Shen Xing not only made a comeback and surpassed the first place, but also won with absolute victory!

The stronger Wu Qilin was in the previous battles, the greater the sensation Shen Xing's victory will cause today!

In particular, the fact that he spent half a month to solidify his path in martial arts and his image of rising against all odds is more sensational than any previous freshman champion.

It's been so long, so long since we've had a freshman who's the best!

In an era where everyone was used to the idea that only those born into powerful families, clans, or organizations, or those nurtured by the Federation itself, could achieve first place and become the strongest, Shen Xing's appearance was like telling everyone that even in such an era, everyone still has the potential to create miracles!

From this moment on, countless people will regard Shen Xing as their idol!

At least now, on the home planet of the academy, there is no one who doesn't know the name Shen Xing!

Even if this sensation is limited to the new students, Shen Xing has established his reputation throughout the entire Human Federation!

Even inside the restaurant, the friends around them were still discussing this matter enthusiastically and excitedly.

"Everyone's talking about you! All the group chats, all the news! Boss, you're really famous!" Mi Fei hugged her personal terminal, excitedly scrolling through messages.

Even with these movements and expressions, she possesses an indescribable allure.

So much so that Shen Xing frequently focused his gaze on her.

How should I put it? It's a feeling I can't quite describe.

"Don't you think Consort Mi is even more alluring?" Nangong Jinyi sat next to Shen Xing, looking at him with a beaming smile.

"That's right. Before, I just thought it was good temperament, but now it seems a bit exaggerated." Shen Xing didn't hide anything and nodded directly, her face full of curiosity. "Is it because you broke through to the Innate Realm?"

"It's a cultivation technique! A cultivation technique!" Upon hearing the discussion, Mi Fei put down her terminal, raised her eyebrows, and looked over. In that instant, she seemed to radiate a new aura, even completely overshadowing Nangong Jinyi's demeanor.

"A new cultivation technique, created by Wenren Caifeng, is called 'Alluring Beauty'," Nangong Jinyi explained. "It's still in the experimental stage. Mi Fei was selected for the research institute and should be among the third batch to successfully learn it."

"Wenren Caifeng? That superstar?" Shen Xing took a deep breath.

The vast majority of top experts in the Human Federation do not reveal their identities, or rather, in a society with information control, most ordinary people are not qualified to know information about these experts.

But there are always a few exceptions.

Wenren Caifeng is one of them. She is one of the most outstanding stars in the entire Human Federation. For hundreds of years, almost all humans have been her fans, and there are countless works of all kinds.

More importantly, this person is a seventh-realm expert!

Even Shen Xing, who has been listening to this artist's songs since childhood, even went through a period of being a big fan.

Upon hearing that Mi Fei had been selected for this person's cultivation technique research institute, and considering her extraordinary charm today, as well as the name of this cultivation technique, Shen Xing suddenly realized something.

"Congratulations!" he said with a smile. "This is a great opportunity. This kind of cultivation technique looks perfect for you."

"No, not really." Mi Fei was even a little shy. "Wherever I go, there are always a bunch of people watching me. Wearing a veil doesn't help. It's not very convenient for me to go out."

"Come on, it's not like we just met," Shen Xing laughed. "But I've never seen you back down."

"What? I just wanted to curry favor with someone powerful, what's wrong with that?" Mi Fei looked innocent, but her body swayed slightly. Even Shen Xing felt a pang in his heart and quickly looked away.

Good heavens, this technique is truly bizarre.

That's right, it's definitely not a problem with my own willpower.

"Hehe." Mi Fei laughed even more happily, her whole body shaking with joy.

However, Shen Xing was indeed somewhat surprised, not only because of Mi Fei, but also because he noticed that both Hu An and Gu Jiao had reached the Innate Realm.

Although Gu Jiao seems to have only broken through a couple of days ago and her aura is unstable, being able to break through to the Innate Realm at this point in time means she could rank among the top 1,000 in the entire academy's home planet.

That's right, Juan is now the second-ranked student at Linjiang School.

While the availability of medicinal resources he provided certainly played a role, talent and hard work also contributed significantly.

It can only be said that as Shen Xing continued to move forward, his friends were also moving forward as well.

"Now that you've taken first place, Wu Qilin probably won't give up." Xue Yu took a sip of fine wine. This powerful man, whose height was close to Shen Xing's, was now filled with emotion. "That person is actually quite pitiful. Although he has parents, they are not as good as those parents in the talent training base who don't have parents. Martial arts is the only path for him to gain his parents' approval."

"I can see that I couldn't hold back with that final strike either," Shen Xing shook his head and smiled. "However, it's impossible for him to surpass me again."

He didn't say much, but with just this one sentence, he displayed boundless confidence.

When he said such things at that moment, everyone would just take it for granted.

Even Xue Yu's eyes held a hint of longing: "I am completely convinced that I have been defeated by you."

"Hehe." Shen Xing chuckled twice, then suddenly looked at Lu Lan and asked, "Speaking of which, are the rankings on the academy's home planet limited to the same grade?"

"That's right." Lu Lan understood what he meant and nodded. "You've also noticed that at your level, it's already difficult to ensure safety during sparring. Unless you're wearing armor, those simple shields alone won't be enough to stop your attacks. However, while sparring isn't very convenient, it's not like there's no way to compare your skills."
